Misophonia Muscle Relaxation 4.7

This application aims to assist individuals in reducing misophonia symptoms by enhancing their muscle relaxation skills when encountering triggers. Misophonia refers to a condition where specific stimuli evoke an intense response, combining emotional and physical reflexes. The app provides a platform to develop the neurological and physical technique of relaxing muscles at will. By achieving muscle relaxation, the impact of misophonia triggers lessens and eventually fades away, emphasizing the importance of regular practice.

The app includes Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) sessions, referred to as Muscle Relaxation Training. This training method forms new neurological pathways allowing targeted muscle relaxation. Unlike other relaxation techniques such as yoga or mindfulness meditation, PMR focuses on developing neuron fibers for precise muscle relaxation upon command.

Research and treatment conducted on numerous misophonia cases have outlined the progression triggered by misophonia stimuli: Trigger -> Muscle Flinch Reflex -> Emotional Reflex -> Physiological Distress. By preemptively relaxing muscles before and during triggers, the reflex response weakens and diminishes over time.

The app offers two sessions involving variations in targeted muscles, advising users to alternate between them. Customizable features include six music options for relaxation and six background noise choices. To expedite misophonia reduction, a recommended regimen entails three daily sessions over two weeks. Transitioning to Sequential Relaxation and Total Instant Relaxation (Ragdoll) sessions after 14-20 initial sessions is encouraged for continued progress.

Advanced features, available through purchase, allow users to personalize training sessions by adding or removing muscles for specific focus areas, while also providing control over tension and relaxation times. Effective results are achievable with three daily sessions for the first two weeks, gradually reducing to one session per day for sustained health benefits.

After completing 14-20 sessions, engaging in Sequential Relaxation (SR) and Total Instant Relaxation (Ragdoll) exercises three times a day and during low-trigger periods is recommended to further reinforce learned muscle relaxation behavior.

To optimize misophonia management, users are advised to relax during moments of tension, post-triggers, predetermining triggers to maintain relaxation throughout. This continuous practice aims at altering brain patterns to reduce future misophonia reflexes.

For individuals experiencing sleep difficulties, a relaxation training session before bedtime in a darkened room may promote quicker sleep induction. The app's advanced settings offer specific endings tailored for facilitating sleep initiation.

Misophonia Muscle Relaxation Training forms an integral part of the misophonia treatment methodology established by behavioral scientist Thomas Dozier. Operating as the president of the non-profit Misophonia Institute and proprietor of Misophonia Treatment Institute, his approach has significantly aided numerous individuals in managing misophonia symptoms effectively.
